The Wings of War: The Secret Labryinth

12. The Forming

𝗧he Next Morning, Axel would wake up in his Motel, with Oliver opposite the room, snoring like a pig as he was laying on his back, with his deer feet sticking out of the bed as his mouth was wide open, which made Axel cringe as he looked around the pitch-black room.
Jeez, can he really snore at this time?
He checked the time on the clock which was on the nightstand, it was eight twenty-three in the morning, as Axel slowly got up and opened the curtain, the sun shining in Oliver's face as he immediately covered himself up.
“No! Stop!” he yelled, which got Axel's attention as Oliver grabbed the blanket and covered himself in it. “i hate it! I don't like it in the morning!”
Axel looked confused. “You don't like the Sun?”
Oliver was still under the blanket, and muffled, “I don't mind it, but when it's flashed in my eyes. Gives me pain!”
Axel chuckled as he closed the curtains, and Oliver slowly crawled out of the bed and rolled onto the floor, with a massive Creak! mixed with a Thud! sound coming from the boy as he slowly got up and grabbed his clothes, and then the two boys left the motel room.

Axel and Oliver sat at the local Cafe, sipping cups of coffee as Oliver was drinking away, whereas Axel was staring at the Coffee Cup, breaking the silence by saying, “I can't believe it's our last day here.”
Oliver turned towards him. “Why do you say that?”
Axel sighed, “Despite it being overcrowded alot of the time. I actually liked it here, it felt safe, more common, more social,” he turned towards Oliver, and they locked eyes for a few moments, before Axel turned back to his cup and said; “than the River, barely any people on there.”
Oliver now looked down and glanced at the Cup. “Yeah, it felt good here, despite almost getting killed with those trials.”
Suddenly, Axel's watch started beeping as he spat out his coffee, grabbing Oliver by one arm and grabbing his stuff with the other, blurting; “We're late!”
Oliver quickly grabbed his stuff and the two boys ran out of the café, shocking the bystanders as the Duo ran through the city, barging past pedestrians and running past carts with horses infront, with a few people shouting slander like, “Watch where your going!” or “Think you're funny, do you?!”
Axel and Oliver ran out of the main town and barged through the bushes, finding a cart and a old wizard standing by it, along with a few other people there also.

“So glad you could make it!” Reven shouted, motioning them to make their way over as the Two Boys ran down the Slope, making their ways to the Cart as they saw Ghost, CJ, and another person, along with a few other armed people (Liam and Alvaro) as they bowed to Axel, with him returning a bow also.
One Person, who looked around his age, shook his hand and said, “Hello, Axel Robbins, my name is Archie, i shall be assisting you on your journey.”
Axel nodded, but then he thought about the part where he said “journey” and as when he was about to ask, Reven suddenly interrupted with; “I suppose, we shall begin our journey now?” Reven asked, as everyone nodded, with Reven climbing into the Cart along with Alvaro and Liam, Archie climbed from the back, followed by Ghost climbing into the Cart from the back.
Axel grabbed Ghost by the arm, as CJ also looked at Axel, with him saying, “You guys are coming too?”
“Yeah, we are,” Ghost responded, as he jumped into the Cart, sitting down as he looked at the Three, “Are you guys coming or what?”
Axel nodded as he climbed in first, with CJ, and then Oliver, as Oliver shut the sphere-looking door behind them as they were now in a room of their own, with Alvaro, Reven and Liam in the next room, and a few horses leading the way as they began moving.
“Don't worry now,” Reven said, as they started moving. “this is the forming of The Association of the Holy Emerald!”
And then the Cart left Grandrûl, making its way to the east.
